If you are in a hardship and you have a money from a medical set a side from a workmans comp case to pay for treatment can you use that money to help you live?

The problem with spending Medicare set aside money for things other than medical treatment is that Medicare will refuse to pay medical bills and providers won't perform treatment when you run out of set aside money. You won't be able to document that all the set aside money was spent on medical expenses and will have no one to pay for your medical treatment. Medicare won't give you permission to do this because it will cause many problems later. They will say you misspent the money. They won't pay for treatment until you have receipts documenting how all the set aside money was spent on medical treatment.
